It's time for All Souls' Night's November 2012 activity check! You probably all know how these work, but let's go over the basics even so.

This check opens November 11, 2012 and will close on November 18, 2012. At any time in that week, please reply to this thread to let us know that you intend to keep your character(s) and continue to play actively on All Souls' Night. If you have more than one character, just reply once and list all your characters that you want to keep and any that you want to drop.

If you are finding that you have one or more characters that just aren't taking off the way you want them to, or if you feel like you're just not enjoying playing on ASN, this activity check is a guilt-free, blame-free way to let a character go. We're all writers here, we all know that sometimes a character that seems awesome when you first make them turns out to fizzle in play, or that you can join a board and find that while the people are all very nice and likeable, the playing style just isn't a good fit for you. If this is the case, you can use this check as a way to thin out your character list or gracefully leave the board and nobody will give you a hard time for it. Real Life is more important than RP, and nobody wants to feel like our happy pretendy funtime games are a burden and a stress for the other person to play in.

So that's it. Please reply to this thread by November 18, we will close up the check that night and post an updated character count at that time.

This activity check is now CLOSED. Characters who did not respond to this check have been moved to a status of INACTIVE and are considered to be gone from the board, with the following exceptions:

FAY'S CHARACTERS have been moved to a status of INACTIVE but should be considered as active NPCs while the player is on extended hiatus. Please contact Briar before doing anything that will have a lasting impact on any of these characters.

JANE'S CHARACTERS remain with an active status while the player is on hiatus. Please contact Briar before doing anything that will have a lasting impact on any of these characters.

...to Seattle, with all its thousand contradictions. A city of silicon dreams and bloody nightmares. Ruled by a child queen with diamond-tipped fangs, occupied by artists and shapeshifters, computer programmers and ancient vampires, college students and creatures of myth. Living (and unliving) together and once the sun goes down it's...

In-character content, help files, and original plots belong to the staff and members. If you see something cool you'd like to play with, ask. Given that we're using somebody else's mythos, it'd be pretty lame if we refused to share.
